(Painlessly) Position Objects in Midjourney

If you’ve ever tried Midjourney, you likely know that positioning objects can be a huge pain. But it’s a critical thing to know… especially for projects like banners and background images that require room for text.

Create space on one side

The prompts we’ve seen work best are formatted as follows:
[focal point object description], [background description], “isolated on the [left/right] side of the image”

A cartoon christmas tree with presents, hills with snow in the background, isolated on the left side of the image --ar 16:9

Create space in the middle

Space in the middle is challenging but doable. Here, it’s best to structure the prompt with the background, describe the elements on either side, describe the styles.

ChatGPT To The Rescue

After stumbling upon an injured bird, Marily Nika, Ph.D, an AI product manager and educator, asked ChatGPT what to do.

…and it not only helped handle the situation but provided the number of a humane society that came and rescued the bird.

The Takeaway: Most of us would have seen this injured bird and Googled something or someone to call for help. That’s been our habit for decades after all. Yet Marily shows us a great example of the positive things that can occur as we begin to refactor our approach to solving problems, acquiring knowledge or getting help from AI. The use cases are truly expansive.
